Above all, Ethiopia is dedicated to the principle of equality of all men, irrespective of differences of race, colour or creed.

As we do not practice or permit discrimation within our nation, so we oppose it wherever it is found.

As we guarantee to each the right to worship as he chooses, so we denounce the policy wich sets man against man on issues of religion.

As we extend the hand of universal brotherhood to all, without regard to race or colour, so we condemn any social or political order wich distinguishes among God's children on this most specious of grounds
